Pssst, Hey! We’re passing along a paid open call for animators! Nice Moves is always excited about a chance to fund more independent animation in Minnesota, so apply and make something for yourself but also for a great local organization that empowers incarcerated writers. 🧵

@Saturnninaa I feel like a bit of insanity is a requirement for animation.
Draw a picture.
Draw it again slightly different.
Do that 100 times.
Congratulations you've made almost 3.5 seconds of entertainment.

2022 is here, but lets reflect on 2021 a bit by looking at the fresh off the excel sheet Salary Survey Results! This amazing resource is made possible by all of you!

The Nice Moves Annual Salary Survey is so exceptionally important and useful for our industry as a whole. Its a great tool and metric for seeing where things are at and helpful in rate and salary negotiations for our area.
